Get ready to bring the energy - Highcross is hosting a FREE Summer of Sport and there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy:

  • Challenge your friends to a game of table tennis
  • Take a seat and face off in a round of sit-down football
  • Test your skills in the hop challenge

That’s not all - we’ll also be joined by Leicester Riders, Leicester City in the Community, plus more, with exciting activities throughout the centre.

And if the sun’s shining, don’t miss the chance to enjoy some al fresco table tennis in St. Peter’s Square.

Ping It to Win It!
Think you’ve got quick reflexes and an eagle-eyed aim? Whether you're a seasoned pro or just in it for the laughs, bring your A-game, and maybe a cheering squad - this is your chance to serve, smash, and spin your way to glory.

Take a Seat, Take the Shot!
Think football is all about fancy footwork? Think again. In this twist on the beautiful game, you’ll stay seated while showing off your passing precision, goal-scoring skills, and team spirit. Whether you're a midfield maestro or a dynamo defender, Sit-Down Football is all about fun, laughter, and friendly rivalry.

Get Your Hop On!
Grab your family, friends, or even your colleagues and take on the ultimate challenge in funny walks, high knees, and hopping fun. Who will be crowned the G.O.A.T of hopscotch? Come find out — it’s all about fun, laughter, and some friendly competition.

Every week we have something new!

Get ready to move, groove, and game on – our Summer of Sport is bringing the heat!
